Murtaugh is proud to share that two of our attorneys have been recognized in the 2026 edition of Southern California Super Lawyers.
Michael Grobaty has again been selected to the Super Lawyers list, marking his sixteenth year of recognition. Michael maintains a wide-ranging trial practice representing both plaintiffs and defendants in employment-related disputes, complex business litigation, legal malpractice, probate matters, and personal injury cases. In addition to his active trial work, he assists parties in resolving civil disputes through mediation, bringing a balanced and pragmatic perspective to high stakes litigation.
Ben Schwefel has been named to the Rising Stars list for the fifth consecutive year, spanning 2022 through 2026. Ben focuses his practice on trust, probate, and conservatorship litigation, representing individuals and families in high stakes and often sensitive disputes involving fiduciary obligations, capacity issues, and contested estate plans.
